WEEKLY WINNERS - Old timers


More participants here at Sarcastic Mom Weekly winners

I am not a car fan at all. For me a car has to have 4 wheels, a steering wheel, and breaks. If on the top of that it looks nice and is comfortable, then I am happy.

Nevertheless I went to the Waterloo Lion where an old timer race took place. I like to see these old cars and imagine how the streets looked like with them and their high speed of a few km or miles !

But this little thing, a Fiat 500 is still to be seen on the streets ! They must be at least 35 to 40 years old by now. I found it on the parking place.

  2. My first car was a fiat 500! I bought it myself after working all a summer at beach! And then I was using it for two years every day driving to the university!!! It was the good time! I had it when I met Pierre in a student party!

  3. What fun! I'm not much of a car fan either. I am a people fan though, and it's always fun to watch the people at the old time thingy's.

  11. I love those old cars and if I see anyone driving them on the highway, I always give them a toot and a wave.

  12. Oh I LOVE that little Fiat! So cute! Reminds me of the little Mini Coopers that are popular now... only the Fiat is cuter!

  13. I echo that sentiment. Just give me a comfortable reliable sensible car. I don't even care what color it is (well, not purple or chartreuse)
